PimentoUK Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 My guess is that it wasn't commercially viable. Assuming it was 'Typical Deus' in operation, with integrated electronics in the coils, it would have retailed at a pretty high price, probably the same as, or more than, dedicated two-box machines ( C-Scope / Fisher / Whites ). The concept of making a two-box add-on for a conventional machine is reasonable enough, Garrett did it. Normally this would mean just 2 coils and the hardware to hold it all, so it would be a realistic price. But it's a pointless concept on a Deus, as almost a complete new detector is needed. (Since the closing of Whites, there is less choice now if you're after a two-box, but I still don't think this help XP sell their version.)

☠ Cipher Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Hell yeah, bring this on! Take my money. I hope it makes it to market one day. I’m in the market for a two box setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brys Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 many must be in the market for a 2 box civil and military Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brys Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 all it would take is a hula hoop size coil which is very light rather than a full blown rig with 2 coils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PimentoUK Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 That's a more realistic way of doing it, and the existing Deus coil electronics will work fine. The topic of a two-box that runs multi-frequency came up some years ago on the Geotech1 forum. But no-one could work out if it would have any real benefits over a single-freq. Having selectable single frequencies would be good, and multi-freq machines like the Equinox and Deus2 both do this. The Deus2 would have the advantage of being capable of operating at any frequency the designers wanted, including very low ( 1 kHz- 5 kHz range). Maybe if this XP two-box ever makes it to customers, it would be Deus2 compatible. The primary advantage of multi-freq is its ability to eliminate the ground signal. As two-box machines are used with the coil well clear of the ground, they will obviously pick up less ground signal, so maybe the benefits of multi-freq are largely lost.

mudwhale Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Check out Nokta Makro's site. They have eclipsed this tech about a decade ago. They have had ground penetrating systems for military use for the last 2 decades. How deep is your wallet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftSword Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 People go to car shows to see concept cars that are fun ideas but will never get made. I expect detector trade shows are no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
